The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

For Sake and Someone More

They poisoned almost everything
their grocery store could hold.
Where all they knew as additives
and modified was sold.

Then paid for politicians
to put labels on for mind.
That expedite designer death
through purchases in kind.

Then set their sites on living
as subscribed by heinous crime.
As they offered up to Health Care
their own sake on practiced dime.

That they all sublulved forsaken
for their faith in borrowed time.
As is all who gait by doctors
show their wait on serpent clime.

That the ones who rush on surgeants
only show their passion more.
As at heart to would stop halfway
af for sake and someone more.

Thanks Lyric Man. I don't usually write dark poems, but this is a reality I'm forced to participate in. Thanks for the kind words. Trevor
